On the day he flew to Country A, Liang Yu woke up very early.

This was the first time in many years that Liang Yu had traveled far alone, so he was inevitably a little nervous and apprehensive.

The thought of taking such a long flight with a stranger next to him made Liang Yu feel terrible.

But there was no other way; Lin Xiao couldn't ask for leave, so she had to go alone.

Liang Yu gave a few instructions to the two caregivers, then pulled a carry-on suitcase and walked out of the ward.

Pushing open the door, I looked up and saw Fang Ze standing neatly dressed at the doorway.

Liang Yu looked away from Fang Ze, casually closed the door, and was about to walk straight past Fang Ze when he heard Fang Ze's warm voice from above:

"Xiao Yu, are you going on a long trip alone?"

Liang Yu nodded and hummed in agreement, without saying another word.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, Fang Ze gently pulled her arm.

Liang Yu looked up at Fang Ze and asked somewhat impatiently:

"Is there something you need?"

Fang Ze quickly withdrew his hand, smiled warmly, and said:

"Xiao Yu, I'm worried about you going on a long trip alone. I'll go with you."

Liang Yu refused decisively:

"No need, I can manage on my own."

After saying that, he looked away and took a step toward the elevator.

As if suddenly remembering something, she immediately turned back to look at Fang Ze, and added firmly:

"Don't follow me, it'll annoy me."

Fang Ze let out a long breath, his brows and eyes revealing an unconcealable sense of dejection and discouragement.

He spoke with what seemed like immense difficulty:

"No matter what happens to you, be sure to tell me, and I will come as soon as possible."

Liang Yu lowered his eyelashes, nodded, and replied softly:

"From now on, take good care of yourself, eat well, sleep well, and don't go to the hospital again. Goodbye."

After Liang Yu finished speaking, he pulled his carry-on suitcase and walked towards the elevator door.

Fang Ze stared straight at Liang Yu's departing figure, his shoulders slumping down little by little. His once upright posture now appeared particularly defeated.

Liang Yu had told him many times to eat well and sleep well.

He used to think Liang Yu was very long-winded, and that he would even get annoyed if he talked too much.

But why did he feel so sad when he heard those words this time?

The void in my heart was once again filled with an unbearable, throbbing pain.

Fang Ze's fingers curled unconsciously, his knuckles turning white, as if he were trying to hold onto something, but his palms were already empty.

On the plane to country A.

The business class cabin was quiet and elegant, with a light fragrance in the air, isolating it from the noise of the boarding gate.

With her small carry-on suitcase in hand, Liang Yu slowly walked towards her seat, guided by the flight attendant.

Her seat was in the front row by the window. The flight attendant helped her put her carry-on luggage away, and she sat down directly in the seat.

As Liang Yu sat down, his gaze unconsciously swept over the empty seat next to him.

The seat next to her was still empty.

Liang Yu pursed his lips slightly, and the curve of his mouth drooped a little.

She tilted her head slightly and looked out the porthole. Several ground support vehicles were slowly moving on the tarmac.

But Liang Yu was thinking something else entirely.

Aren't these two seats a bit too close together?

I wonder what kind of stranger will be next to me?

Is it a man or a woman?

Why isn't there even a partition above this business class cabin?

If she had known it wasn't a fully enclosed, private business class cabin, she wouldn't have booked this flight.

Liang Yu carefully adjusted the angle of the seat back, his movements carrying a hint of barely perceptible awkwardness.

As passengers entered the business class one by one, the number of strangers in the cramped space increased.

This made Liang Yu feel inexplicably depressed.

She couldn't help but curl her fingers, and her hands trembled slightly involuntarily.

She took a deep breath, crossed her arms, and hid her hands under her forearms.

A pretty flight attendant walked over, knelt down in front of her, and asked softly:

"Hello, miss, would you like me to change your shoes?"

Liang Yu shook his head and said softly:

"No, thank you."

The flight attendant noticed Liang Yu's crossed arms and then said softly:

"Miss, would you like a blanket?"

Liang Yu nodded and said softly:

"Okay, thank you."

The flight attendant immediately got up to get a blanket.

Liang Yu straightened his back slightly and glanced at the seat next to him once again.

It's still empty.

That would be great if no one sat there the whole time.

As the flight attendants brought the blankets, the cabin announcement came on.

A gentle female voice reminded passengers that the aircraft doors were about to close and preparations for takeoff were underway. Passengers were asked to fasten their seatbelts and turn off their electronic devices.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

It seems there really is no one sitting next to me.

Great.

Liang Yuhuan quickly reached for the seatbelt, but because his hands were trembling, it took him a while to get the buckle on before he could fasten it.

Liang Yu leaned back in the leather seat, relaxed, closed his eyes, and looked forward to the plane taking off.

Suddenly, a soft footstep sound came from behind.

The footsteps were steady and unhurried, seemingly heading towards Liang Yu.

Liang Yu's heart, which had just relaxed, instantly jumped into his throat, and his whole body tensed up.

The footsteps stopped near her.

She could feel a faint shadow descending upon her, landing beside her, carrying a slightly cool sensation.

Liang Yu kept his eyes closed, but his fingers, hidden under the blanket, curled up again, and his hands began to tremble slightly.

She pursed her lips into a straight line, her brows furrowed slightly, pretending to be asleep.

She was even prepared to pretend to be asleep the whole time.

She didn't want to have any interaction with a stranger.

Liang Yu felt the person next to him gently sit down.

The person next to me seemed very careful and extremely quiet, as if deliberately trying to minimize their presence upon sitting down.

That's great, you're probably a socially awkward person too.

Liang Yu's brow slowly relaxed.

The air conditioner vents gently blow out cool air, causing the surrounding air to circulate silently.

A faint, damp, woody scent suddenly entered Liang Yu's nostrils.

She was very familiar with this smell.

The smell gave her a strange sense of peace.

Liang Yu took a few deep breaths, and the image of Yan Qi suddenly popped into his mind.

This smells very similar to the smell on Yan Qi.

No, they are exactly the same.

Liang Yu's thoughts began to run unconsciously, and she started to uncontrollably imagine everything about Yan Qi.

I wonder what Yan Qi is doing now?

Have you been looking for work in Haicheng during this period?

If Yan Qi finds a job, will he no longer be her driver?

I really hope Yan Qi can find a good job and meet a good boss who appreciates him.

Thinking of this, Liang Yu couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

She slowly opened her eyes. She wanted a sip of water and didn't want to pretend to be asleep anymore.

Liang Yu glanced casually to the side.

This sweeping motion froze her completely.

A pair of incredibly familiar, deep black eyes were quietly watching her.

Those eyes were as black as ink, as deep as a bottomless, icy pool, carrying an innate coldness and aloofness.

But in the instant their eyes met, a wave of intense heat surged in his eyes, instantly enveloping her and rendering her immobile. In the blink of an eye, it all vanished.

It felt like an illusion.

Liang Yu immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and asked in astonishment:

"Yan Qi, what are you doing here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her heart clenched, then began to pound uncontrollably.

Liang Yu never expected to see Yan Qi here.

She just stared straight at Yan Qi.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint watery light welled up in her eyes, sparkling like they were filled with stars.

The undercurrents surging in Yan Qi's eyes had long been forced back into the abyss, leaving only a bottomless stillness.

He looked at Liang Yu calmly and replied casually:

"What a coincidence, you're here too."

Liang Yu quickly looked away, suppressing a smile, and said softly:

"Didn't I tell you before that I was going to country A for a few days? So you're going to country A today too, right? Why didn't you tell me before that you were going to country A as well?"

Yan Qi replied calmly:

"It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision; I never expected to meet you on the plane."

That's certainly not the case.

This was a long-planned chance encounter.

However, Liang Yu was completely unaware of this.

Liang Yu immediately looked at Yan Qi and said with a smile:

"What a coincidence! We've actually become neighbors."

Liang Yu leaned back in his chair, relaxed, and said:

"I'm always worried that a strange stranger will sit next to me, and I'll die on the spot."

"Great, I actually ran into you on the plane."

Liang Yu then looked at Yan Qi and asked:

"Yan Qi, how many days are you planning to stay in Country A?"

Yan Qi replied in a low voice:

"No plans yet, is something the matter?"

Liang Yu said "Oh," and explained:

"I just wanted to ask when you plan to come back. If our schedules coincide, maybe we can come back together."

"That way we can continue to be neighbors, and I won't be afraid to sit with strangers anymore."

Yan Qi suppressed a smile, his expression indifferent as he asked in a cold voice:

"You want to come back with me?"
